Some more PSOne classics that I would like to see added to PSN

I had a much earlier post, listing several games that I felt should be included as PSOne classics on the PlayStation Store. Needless to say, a fair bit was added since that last update, although strangely enough nothing that I was really eagerly looking forward to. For such a rich console, they've added some very meh games from it's library as classics and feel that they could do much better. There's some more that I would like to see added. Note that this is concerning the North American store only, those in Japan or Europe may already have some of these offered as classics.

The Colony Wars Series

This was an incredibly fun series of space flight and combat simulators that had three installments on the PS1. It featured engaging and challenging missions which were always fresh, a non-linear storyline that branched depending on which fights you won or lost, and a diverse array of starships which were avaliable to be piloted depending upon the specific mission. Despite the fun and potential the series offers, it could do with a graphical brush-up (the first two games especially). The PSN store is notably lacking in space flight combat simulators, which makes Colony Wars a much needed addition.

Chrono Cross

A real no-brainer for RPG fans, Chrono Cross is the sequel to Chrono Trigger and is regarded by many to be the greatest RPG of all time. While I don't hold to that school of thought (I give that title to FFIV), it plays as mostly a standard JRPG with a few memorable differences. Taking Serge, the protagonist, on his quest through a turned-upside down world that features what were very smooth graphics at the time, memorable supporting characters, and an impressive musical score by Mitsuda, Chrono Cross goes down as nothing less than a treasure. This game is a must play for any who consider themselves a player of fine JRPG's.

Guilty Gear

This series from Arcs is the one which inspired the BlazBlue franchise, and evokes BB's unique and oftentimes wild character designs and move sets. Extremely fast paced and focused upon using combos, the game has a steep and challenging learning curve which few were really ever able to master, but it was fun to try. An incredibly wierd experience, I'm not sure how many would avidly hope to see Guilty Gear on the store, but no matter how few I count myself as one of them. Chip Zanuff is awesome!

Einhander

I include Einhander not as somebody who has experienced it personally, but as a recommendation from a friend. It's a 3d side scrolling shooter. Supposedly already on the Japanese PSN store, this game is supposed to be hard as hell but packed full of action, explosions, and colour. Copies of the game are hard to find, and adding it as aPSOne titlewould be a way to insure easy accesibility.
